Shakti Gawain on Living a Conscious Life

[@leightongarner6431]

I never knew her as Shakti. We met in Newport Beach, Souithern Californian when she was 22 and I was 24 and she was Carol Lousia Gwain, she went by Louisa. We fell in love and we lived together for a couple of years. This was in 1970. She lived with me during her college years. She graduated from UC Irvine with a degree in Fine Arts. She litteraly got me out of going to Vietnam. I got drafted when we were together and she insisted that we go see a lawyer that specilized in getting men out of the draft. I would never had thought to do that if it was not for her. Anyway it worked and we were together for another year after that. Later after we broke up she got into the metaphysical world she was famous for. In her book about her life I am on a couple of pages known as Lawrence. We stayed in touch and visited each other a few times for many years after. She always had a good logical mind and she was a very kind person. I held her in high esteem then and thereafter always.

'Living In The Light' is my Bible. It changed every fiber of my being. Shakti served her purpose on Earth and then the spirit took her home. I'll miss her forever.

[@Barbara-w1h]

I believe it was about 1985 when I first read Living in the Light. It made so much sense then and still now in 2023! It really started me on a spiritual path and I’m so very grateful! Was sorry to hear she no longer walks this earth yet she certainly lives on in so many lives she touched! I loved seeing her in this interview and hearing her humility and sincere voice. Thank you.

I was listening to Abraham Hicks this morning, I was in a deep depression and alcoholism- but today I got up and cleaned, rearranged things. As I was taking out the garbage I went to bring the bin in, and as I looked down into the bottom of the bin, was her book, Creative Visualization. It sat alone in the remnants of the bin, bright yellow and hard to miss, glowing almost. I have been listening to her throughout the day today. A sign from the universe, no doubt. The universe and spirit and all else works in the most beautiful of ways. I thought about grabbing it, but figured I could just get a clean version haha. Thank you Shakti!

I was so sorry to learn of Shakti’s death. Her book Creative Visualisation literally changed my entire life. It was 1993 and I was 24 years old. I still have the same book, which I just pulled off the book shelf tonight when I decided to look up what she’s doing online. A lovely interview. Such a genuine human.

Mine too 🥲🫶🏼

Her pink bubble technique is the most powerful thing I've ever done.

[@ayawarner5978]

RIP Shakti. Thanks for making a huge difference in my life.

[@Sunrise_HVAC]

She donated her book to me in a time of need and I put it to use. Wow is all I can say it worked for me and I am very great full for her sending me that book. I use it everyday of my life. Thank you

[@xxbutterflyxx6325]

I’m 73 and she was my first metaphysical life in early 30’s. Brought me into these new way of thinking.

[@hotelcalifornia715]

RIP 🙏 shakti gawain. Such a creative soul who left a legacy on visualization. Her tiny booklet was such a big hit.

[@adeeperlook5866]

Shakti Gawain continues to be such an incredible inspiration to those who choose to live a life of consciousness. She' is very definitely a leader in the movement towards spiritual evolution on planet Earth.

[@rerekuka]

30 years ago, as a young mother, I read Creative Visualization. It was my introduction and the start of a long path to self awareness and a greater understanding of our universal connectedness. Thank you, Shakti, for finishing that book! It was wonderful to see you "live."

[@ms.5779]

Nina Rene Soreco me too

[@reefprayerresin]

I bought and read and treasured all of her books in the early nineties, which are all in storage for now. At work I deal with 2nd hand books, and 2 of her books have appeared in the last week! - I've seen none in the last 7 years! So I was very interested to see this interview. Amazing lady.

[@kathysullivan5867]

I love this woman, she's so down to earth and believable, no hype, no trying to sell expensive workshops and an incredibly simple explanation for how to get in touch with your intuition, as opposed to lengthy lectures that make it all sound so complex and unachievable. I laughed out loud when she answered the question about ageing Love you Shakti

[@SS-sr5vr]

We need more mature spiritual teachers in our societies

[@meenachotai3707]

I am very very greatful to shakti as i got her book when i was totally broken and just exploring at bookshop at Rishikesh.. it leads me to the correct path.since that it is my pillobook... She is very intimate and very simple in her teaching.she us blessings for me.thanks

[@bonngairaoi]

My first teacher.

[@MarkoMaodus]

"Living in the light" came to me in just the right moment. Thank you, Shakti for that wonderful book... After reading the book, I bought 10 copies of it and gave them to my best friends, to help them find a way, as you did to me :)

[@mortalclown3812]

All this wisdom. ❤ "Creative Visualization" was a very important book in my life - it still is. Such an extraordinary author and human. Rest in Paradise, dear Shakti. You left us too soon. Grateful for the Light you shared.

[@goddessanonymous5853]

Great to hear this interview. I bought her book two over two decades ago and practiced some exercises. I have manifested many things since.

[@clipstone]

I could listen to her talking all day.

[@debbiemcnelly831]

Thank you Shakti! You left a beautiful mark on our world and helped more people than you know.Rest In Peace..❤️🕊️

[@julanesutton9626]

I've loved Shakti Gawain's inspirational writing over most of my adult years. I have her book Reflections in the Light offering Daily Thoughts and Affirmations on my lap as I viewed this interview.

[@MsArlene100]

Shakti inspired myself and many others TO Visualize...and use your intuition! wonderful!! May there be another 35 years!

[@blxcklord_1059]

What a human being ... its funny how living in thr light found me at a point in my life where i really needed it.. and thats what it says when it ends.. i was shocked.. you helped me become a channel for the universal energy 💝 Rest in eternal peace

[@yourspiritrocks]

Thanks Shakti, for making a difference in my life. Your Spirit Rocks !

[@russolmt]

I have always loved Shakti. She has been my first experience with spirit. My portal to growth , meditation and manifestation. What a great gift it has been to learn from her. I love her voice, her manner and the easy to read books that made such a difference!

[@robkim55]

Thanks Shakti for your book on Visualization. It has really helped to transform me. Thanks.

[@permacultureli]

wow...I remember reading CV back in Ann Arbor in the late 80's....loved it.

[@pbpaez]

Such a lovely woman! Love Love Love from the Dominican Republic!!

[@SandraDeAmicis]

I never knew of her work and hen last Sunday her name came into my mind (I am an auditory intuitive) and I had to see her work so I went to B and N and Creative Visualization was the only book they had, so I bought it. She died last Sunday...... I trust my inner guidance and wisdom for delivering me what I need and where I need to be....

[@lvhomesales]

When I was kid growing up in NY, my mom gave me Creative Visualization by S.Gowain. Since I was a kid I didn't know how to use it. I didn't realize what I was learning , there is a right way and wrong way to visualize. As I got older into my late 20s I didn't realize I was visualizing my own accident until it manifest. Since then I used to positively. I still use today 40 years later because it works.

[@Larryswaggz18]

Just got hold of her book "Living in the Light: A Guide to Personal and Planetary Transformation". Does anyone know how she died?

[@NewWorldLibrary]

Here is a link to her obituary: www.sfchronicle.com/books/article/Shakti-Gawain-author-and-co-founder-of-New-World-13401392.php

[@Larryswaggz18]

@@NewWorldLibrary Thank you so much. I really find this helpful

[@user-wt3bk9nl5x]

I read she'd been ill since the 90s but she seem perfectly articulate here. ...

[@NewWorldLibrary]

Shakti did not start developing Lewy Boy Dementia symptoms until the first half of the 2010s, so your source hat said she'd been ill since the 90s was incorrect.

[@Existmusiccloud]

I read Creative Visualization around ‘85
